DESCRIPTION
Turmeric (Haldi) has long been considered an essential flavoring spice of Indian and other ethnic cuisines. Turmeric provides the typical yellow color of many curry dishes and helps to render food more digestible. Turmeric, along with other curry herbs, has several physiologic activities, including the inhibition of platelet aggregation, antibiotic effects, anti-cholesterol action, and fibrinolytic activity.
Many studies on turmeric have revealed that the herb contains cholagogue-type substances, which increase the secretion of bile. Principal among these substances is curcumin (the molecular standardized extract)  which possess liver protective activity, detoxifying dangerous carcinogens, stimulating the gall bladder and acting as a free radical scavenger. Curcumin has cholekinetic activity (bile duct stimulation). It has been suggested that turmeric lowers blood cholesterol through these various choleric effects. Turmeric’s effects on weight loss may also be mediated through curcumin’s catabolic and metabolic activities on fats. Studies have also revealed that curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties, inhibiting platelet aggregation and cyclooxgenase and lipoxygenase enzymes which catalyze the formation of inflammatory prostaglandins and other molecules. Curcumin requires the presence of the adrenal glands to have this non-steroidal anti-inflammatory activity.
